SALT INFORMATION for FTROP

Uses

Ftrop 150mg injection is used in the treatment of female infertility (inability to become pregnant) and male hypogonadism (decrese in male hormone).

How it works

FSH binds to the Ftrop 150mg injection receptor which is a G-coupled transmembrane receptor. Binding of the FSH to its receptor seems to induce phosphorylation and activation of the PI3K (Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase) and Akt signaling pathway, which is known to regulate many other metabolic and related survival/maturation functions in cells.
